Comment on why don't graffiti artists vandalize AI slop flyers or posters?

I see two types of graffiti in my area, graffiti art and graffiti scribbles. Scribblers will write over anything, but the artists are much more picky about where they paint and avoid going over other art. I haven’t seen any ai flyers. What are they putting up in your area?

I’m confused - what about that poster looks AI to you. It looks just like every other car rental / sales poster I’ve ever seen.
I.e. vehicles photoshopped onto unnaturally pristine tarmac surrounded by large text.
I admit I don’t know enough about vans to pick up if any of them are off-model, but as it is I’m not seeing any obvious AI tells.

It’s the text you wanna look at - this specific style of angled brush stroke font is everywhere now because it’s AI generated.

Ah, thanks for that.
I hadn’t noticed it, but looking close I can see that it’s not just a font, the smaller letters are slightly different from the big ones.

Everything. Flyers made BY AI, not for AI. My local hardware chain made an Ai flyer for upcoming holiday closures. My local car dealership made an ad for early holiday deals with an uncanny version of their own car. A church breakfast. A charity event. A play.

Ah, I see what you are saying. I’ll have to keep an eye out for those. I’m in a fair number of entertainment spaces and I feel like those businesses have the least budget for a designer. I used to be my own GIMP guy for years because I couldn’t pay anyone to edit my flyers. I wouldn’t use AI though. Part of the charm of my work was the obvious amateur enthusiasm. :-)
I think most of the people doing it don’t connect themselves with the harms of AI because labor is alienated from the results. If you had to murder Bambi every time you cleared woods for a data center you would actually feel bad about it. But if you just work in the mine that makes the metal that becomes the bullets in his gun, a lot of people don’t think about it hard enough to realize that they are unwillingly still part of the problem.
Anyway, fuck AI. Keep art and human creativity alive!
